The well known Japanese production company is setting up shop in the west coast. Kojima Productions recently posted job listings for their newly announced Los Angeles offices. The job listings include everything from animator to graphics engine programmer, just to name a few. Since it will be most likely spearheaded by twitter-happy Hideo Kojima, the job requirements look to be pretty straightforward, as most of the listings require the applicant to have worked on two previous titles.

No word on what the LA studio will be working on, but given the recent announcements at the Metal Gear 25th anniversary PAX panel, I can’t shake this feeling that it’s going to be something big. Not only will this cut down on the localization time of future Kojima Production titles, this may also be a clue to Mr. Kojima’s future plans for the Metal Gear series.

Gamescom in Germany is underway and the typhoon of information is coming in by the late hour. Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima confirmed via twitter the release date of the highly anticipated spin off, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, as being February 21st, 2013.
[UPDATE] Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it will release METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE in North America and South America on February 19th, 2013.

Seems to me that Kojima Productions and Platinum games have a couple of surprises up their sleeves! Wait till the very end of the footage to see see the latest addition. Check out the video now!

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled this new METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE gameplay footage. The new footage shows the first few minutes of the official demo which we played at this year’s E3. I honestly wasn’t too interested in this game, but after playing it at E3, I am definitely picking it up.
